01 / Ethos
David Reid Homes Inner Adelaide

For twenty years we have built homes designed for their site and remembered long after the trucks leave. In Adelaide, that work is led by Laksh Bains and the Inner Adelaide team.

02 / Building in Adelaide

Built for the block,
not the catalogue

Adelaide is a city of distinct places, and no two blocks build the same. We are specialists in acreage homes across the Adelaide Hills, where space, slope and outlook shape something special. Closer to the city we build full custom homes, knockdown rebuilds in the suburb you already love, and homes designed for sloping and narrow sites and the coast. From Glenelg and Hallett Cove to Seaford, through Port Adelaide, Modbury, Salisbury and Elizabeth, and up into the Hills, our Inner Adelaide team builds right across the metro and beyond.

Common Questions
Do you do knockdown rebuilds in Adelaide?

Yes. If you love your suburb but have outgrown the house, a knockdown rebuild lets you stay put and build a brand new custom home designed for your block. We assess the site, services and overlays with you first, so you know what is possible before you commit.

Can you build on sloping, narrow or coastal Adelaide blocks?

Yes, challenging sites are our specialty. Hills slope, narrow city frontages and coastal exposure each shape the design differently, and a home designed for its block usually costs less and lives better than a standard plan forced onto the wrong site. We turn the block’s quirks into the design’s best features.

Which Adelaide areas do you build in?

We build right across metro Adelaide and beyond: Glenelg, Hallett Cove and Seaford on the coast, Port Adelaide, Modbury, Salisbury and Elizabeth, up into the Adelaide Hills, and through Gawler toward the Barossa. If you are not sure whether we reach your area, get in touch and we will connect you with your nearest David Reid Homes builder.

How much does it cost to build a custom home in Adelaide?

Because a custom home is priced on what you choose to build, there is no single sticker price. The main factors are the size of the home, the design, your site and its access, and the finishes you select. Rather than start with a number, we start with your brief, then prepare a detailed itemised quote so you can see exactly what your home includes before you sign anything.

Laksh Bains

For Laksh Bains, building is personal. He leads David Reid Homes Inner Adelaide with a real passion for the craft and a simple belief: a home should feel like it could only ever belong to the people who live in it.

That passion shows in the details, in the way he listens before he draws, and in a hands-on approach that stays with your build from the first sketch to the final handover. Laksh and his close-knit team do things differently, because it is their people that make the difference.
